Emotional Wellbeing Links
At Nazeing School we are keen to support our pupil’s emotional wellbeing, for example through encouraging a Growth Mindset, but also wanted to provide parents and carers with a range of organisations that may be able to offer additional advice and support for families and children who are facing particular challenges. With this in mind, please find below a list of websites that families can access directly.
Moshi has come to Essex Libraries!
EYFS to KS5 Children / Parents / SEN Practitioners / Teachers / Nursery Practitioners
Essex Libraries have teamed up with the Moshi App. The app provides hundreds of audio stories, guided meditations, music and much more, that will help your child sleep better, regulate their emotions and encourage their imagination grow. Essex Libraries are offering free unlimited access to the app. You can find out more on our website, where you can learn about the app and how easy it is to use.
